 ASSIGNMENT  # 2 


1)  USING THE DESIGN THINKING APPROACH YOU WILL ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION BELOW.  ANSWER THEM ON THE DOCUMENT POSTED IN CLASSROOM, THEN SUBMIT THEM TO THAT ASSIGNMENT. 


DESIGN THINKING 

Take some time to think....now think some more. Your task is to come up with an example of a specific global problem/situation/social ill this type of design thinking would allow you to create a solvable solution to.

It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem.   

1)  Identify the problem you are intending to solve.  Create an approach/solution/s which current technology does not currently support but most certainly could in the future.

2)  Next take a moment to consider the down stream affects you're solution could potentially have on society and the affects generations yet to come.

3)  Lastly identify areas you think you could consider improvements.  Identify the improvement's as well as the resources needed to produce this technological product/s.
